Mouth better but not sleeping

My mouth is so much better. I found a tree bark from Africa that cleared it up in 2 days, yeah. If i could just sleep on Monday nights. The steroid wakes me up at 3 Am ish and then i cant go back to sleep. The good part is i get an IV on Tuesdays for three hours so i can sleep then. I have been cooking up a storm and Travis will actually eat some of it. I am so proud of him. Sammy has been cooking and getting into healthy food too. Gavin eats whatever i put in front of him. Found out this week that insurance denied all our claims for Progressive Medicine. More phone calls, paper work and frustration...

Gavin turns 3 on Sunday, i just cant believe my baby is getting so big. We went to the farmers market on Saturday and had such a great time, just him and me. We usually do not venture out like that since my energy level is in no comparison to his, but we had a great day. For my birthday Sammy took me on a shopping spree and wanted to find clothes that make me look younger. We had a great day on Sunday. I think we were both exhausted from shopping.

Had a little breakdown last week and told Sammy how sad i am so sad not to be my old self and always snapping at the kids due to my steroids. We both shed some tears but i think she realizes now that it is the meds and not me or her. We just need to pray that Travis can realize this also or he might commit me soon. Everything just pisses me off, poor guy. Not to mention Gavin has been sleeping with us so you know what that means. I think i need to be more creative.

Any who,
hoping to have scans soon so we can see if all this is working
hugs and kisses
